HURRICANE SANDY HAS LASTING,
MAJOR EFFECTS ON HAITIANS
Sandy dumped as much as 27 inches of rain on the island in just one day. The water flooded the camps, destroyed temporary housing and drove an estimated 200,000 people into another round of homelessness. Only 17,000 of those have been provided with emergency shelter. The hurricane has killed at least 54 people in Haiti.
Approximately 2 million of Haitians are affected by Hurricane Sandy. Floodwaters swept through a country that lacks basic sanitation, epidemiologists fear a spike in cholera cases across the country. Haiti already suffers from more cases of cholera than the entire world combined
